Your Excellency: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is deeply troubled by the continuing use of Indonesia's outdated criminal defamation laws to punish journalists who criticize public figures. This disturbing trend is having a chilling effect on local journalists and poses a direct threat to press freedom in Indonesia. We call on you to do everything in your power to uphold Article 28 of Indonesia's Constitution, which guarantees press freedom, and to fight for the removal of defamation laws from your country's Criminal Code.https://cpj.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/cpj-logo.png24001260
